Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

not totally certain...but
I believe that these are rear-fanged, mildly venomous like North American species such as garters, ribbons, water snakes and hog-nosed. If you're allergic to bee stings and such then seek ER treatment. Otherwise, if no problems arise, then treat like a basic colubrid bite and wash with antibiotic soap, dry and bandage if needed. Anyone, please correct me if I'm off track.

Wow, now I've heard that the "Hognose" are "rear-fanged" & mildly venemous but I didn't know that water snakes, ribbons, & garters fell into that category, that's some info I honestly didn't know, it makes sense though if you've ever seen a garter eat, frogs & fish for example tend to act calmly after a few minutes of being grabbed by a garter, thanx for the info, I really didn't know that!

A friend of mine here locally had one. I would watch it eat and observe that the fangs are actually under the eyes. They are positions in a area where a fast bite could and will give out venom and pain. When he eats, he bites the rat pup and then leaves with out the rat. The rat will DIE in about 5 minutes from the venom. Yeah it may be a baby rat but 5 minutes is still kinda fast. There venom is very under estimated and can cause alot of swelling and pain.
